PROPERTY) FOR DESERT THEATREWORKS TO ALLOW THE
SALE AND CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL AT THE JOSLYN

SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Y. Aryan, Risk Manager

CONTENT: Joslyn Center Email and List of DTW Production Dates
Recommendation
By Minute Motion,
1. Approve an exception to Palm Desert Municipal Code Section 9.58.010
(Consumption of Alcoholic Beverages on Public Property) for Desert
Theatreworks to allow the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages
at the attached list of productions at The Joslyn Center's Arthur Newman
Theatre, located at 73-750 Catalina Way.
2. As a condition of approval, require Desert Theaterworks submit proof of
liquor liability coverage, including naming the City of Palm Desert as an
additional insured party to such coverage.
3. Authorize the City Manager or her designee to sign the Daily License
Application from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control for these events.
Strateqic Plan Obiective
Approving this municipal code exception to serve alcohol does not directly tie into the
strategic results portion identified in the Palm Desert Strategic Plan. However, the theatre
productions at the Joslyn Center are geared toward a wide audience, providing a cultural
and lifestyle entertainment enrichment for all ages.
Background
Since 2013, the Joslyn Center has allowed Desert Theatreworks (DTW), a theatre
company serving the Coachella Valley, to produce various plays and musicals at the
Staff Report: Municipal Code Exception

a resource for both the residents and visitors to the Coachella Valley, to enrich the cultural
depth and education of the community at large. In 2016 & 2017, DTW will again produce
various plays and musicals, including Agatha Christie's A Murder is Announced, Christmas
My Way (A Sinatra Holiday Bash), and numerous other productions totaling 38 shows (see
attached list). As part of these events, alcohol will be sold and consumed consisting of
beer, wine, and pre -mixed hard liquor (e.g. bottled margaritas, etc.).
As DTW is serving alcohol at a City owned property, an exception to Palm Desert
Municipal Code Section 9.58.010 is required. DTW is also required to complete a daily
license application from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC)
and obtain the property owner's signature.
The City's Risk Manager also recommends that DTW maintain liquor liability coverage,
naming the City of Palm Desert as an additionally insured party. Staff recommends
approval of the exception and authorization of the City Manager, or her designee, to sign
the ABC application, as long as the appropriate insurance coverage is maintained.
Fiscal Analvsis
No fiscal impact.

Hello Stephen,
I've attached the 2016-17 schedule of Desert Theatre Works' productions at the Joslyn. Before and during performances
they sell alcoholic beverages to their patrons.
In the past they have obtained and produced to the Joslyn Staff proof of Daily Licenses from the local ABC. As you
shared with me, the owner of the property is the City of Palm Desert and thus each Daily License Application must go
before City Council
for approval and authorization for the City Manager's signature. We have contacted them to alert them to this new
development and what they must do. The Contact's name is Ron Phillips -Martinez should he contact you.
Thank you for your assistance Stephen,
Lee
